a BE GREAT FILM "KISMET" HEREMARCH 10AND11 Otis Skinner's Stupendous Production 'Coming to Community House; Do Not Miss It Entertainment of rare quality is romised Winnetkans in the an- nouncement of the showing in the illage on March 10 and 11 of the famous film production "Kismet," now showing exclusively at a leading loop theater. "Kismet", starring Otis Skinner, greatest of American romantic act- ors, is brought to Winnetka directly from the loop and through the initiat- ive of Community Motion Pictures manager, Sidney Spiegel, is to be shown here for the first time on the north shore. ~ Beyond question "Kismet" ranks among the foremost productions of the cinema art. It is an elaborately appointed play in every detail and perhaps the greatest of 'present day depictions of Oriental life, the life of beautiful, romantic yet cruel Bag- dad. The scenes are richly and effective- 1y executed, the street scenes, market places, mosques, high court and pal- 'aces are done in most realistic fash- jon. The cast is perhaps one of the best trained in the history of film production. Otis Skinner, who made famous the legitimate production "Kismet", appearing in the character Haji, the beggar, does the art to perfection in the minutest detail. © "Kismet", meaning fate, is a story rich in romance and the thrills at- tendant upon life in the tempestu- ous days when Moslem rule held sway in the East. It is the story of Eaji, the beggar's novel experiences crowded between dawn and sunset. Fate plays an astounding role. There are all the elements that go to make up the great story of life. The nob- lest and the most depraved charac- teristics of humankind are brought out forcefully and with remarkable effect. There is truth, love, charity, justice, on the one hand, treachery, hatred, cruelty intrigue murder on the other, the vivid portrayal of the grim and ceaseless struggle called life. 2 3 not fail to see "Kismet". Tt 'is a truly great production and gpne possessing the merit of unusual his- toric value and educational worth. FRANKLIN AUTO PLANT NOW RUNNING 100 PCT.

Gates, president of the New Trier Township Commercial as- sociation and prominent north shore ¢ivicworker for many yearsand form- er Wilmette Village President, is tendered a glowing tribute ina recent issue of The Evanston News-Index, in one of a series of business biogra- phies of business leaders in this vicinity. The host of friends and acquaint- ances of the Commercial Manager of the Evanston District of the Illi- nois Telephone Company will be in- terested in the accompanying extract from the biography. "Mr. Gates has been a business man for years. He was born in Chi- cago in 1860 and started to be an office boy in 1876 at the office of E. W. Blatchford and company. He stayed there until 1884 when he went west to Nebraska and took up the dry goods business. Two years was long enough for him to be so far away from Chicago, so he came back. He has tried a number of different kinds of business, but all in Chicago. Saw manufacturing, drugs, an asphalt company, and a steamboat company have all in turn claimed his energy. "Fifteen years ago he went into 5 telephone company and first had the management of the Winnetka and Wilmette exchanges. Since then, through the reorganization of the telephone system, he has had other exchanges added until now he keeps peace in Evanston, Wilmette, Win- netka, Glencoe, Niles Center, Glen- view, Morton Grove and Shermer- ville. "Still other activities embrace nmiembership in the Ouilmette Coun- try club, the Evanston Commercial association, the Wilmette Congrega- tional church, the Evanston Elks, the Wilmette Masons and the presidency of the New Trier Commercial asso- ciation." Mr. Gates' election two years ago, to the presidency of the New Trier Commercial association has had the effect of rejuvenating an organiza- tion rendered practically defunct be- cause of apathy among the business men of the township. He introduced special monthly social dinners and fellowship gatherings and has been largely responsible for getting the work of the association on a more efficient and practical basis. American Legion members, scat- tered over the world, continue to band together. The latest applicants for information in regard to estab- lishing a foreign post came from the island of Ceylon where two members of Akron, O. Post have decided to or- ganize the ex-service wanderers. The nearest posts to Ceylon are located at Singapore and Yokohama, more than a two weeks' journey away. A fighting chaplain quoted scrip- ture to the members of the Missouri legislature in behalf of a boxing bill which the American Legion is push- ing in that state. The quotation which was made by the Rev. Earl A. Blackman, is from Paul in the ninth chapter of Corinthians. It is: "I am a boxer and I hit hard and straight, not as one who beats the air, but I buffet my body." A survey of street conditions was made by the public welfare commit- tee of Woodhaven, N. Y., Post of the American Legion in co-operation with local authorities. American history, civics and English are be- ing taught to foreigners in evening classes conducted by the Woodhaven Post as a part of a campaign to nat- uralize every alien in the communi- ty.
